The craft, the writing of a song, is about creating a story, a life story, a world within three minutes, but that's the frame, if you like, the picture frame. That fascinates me.

I didn't even know the industry of songwriting existed. I thought everybody sang songs and they were only singing the songs that they wrote. So after I found out about songwriting in college, I was like, "Okay, I want to do that."

My father is actually a quarry man - he deals in stone. He also at one point had a lot of sheep, he owned a sheep farm, but primarily the family business was in stone.

At this point in my life, I'm probably not gonna be able to stop writing because it's gonna help me be able to do what I need to do.

It's so interesting to me how songs take on a shape and body of their own and grow.

I don't loathe interviews, I'm just one of those people who makes music because I find it difficult to talk.

I think Ive got a pretty good sense of humor.
